What each ingredient does
- Ground coffee
- Provides the flavour and aroma that the hot water extracts into the brew.
- Boiling water
- Extracts flavour from the coffee grounds and carries them through into the drink.
The step that matters
Grinding the coffee quite fine. Fine grounds give more surface area for hot water to extract flavour, but the grind must suit the brewing method. Too fine a grind can slow drainage and make the coffee bitter or muddy.
